Blake Lively
The CW's Gossip Girl was not exactly awards-show bait, but Blake Lively's six seasons as Serena van der Woodsen earned her legions of fans and propelled her to a major film career.
Emmy voters are apparently a tough bunch to please! Lauren Graham, Ellen Pompeo andKaley Cuoco are just a few of the stars who have never been nominated for TV's highest honor, despite their indelible roles on successful shows.
Ellen Pompeo
Grey's Anatomy fans may be stunned to learn that Ellen Pompeo has yet to land a nomination, despite her 10-plus seasons of bringing title character Meredith Grey to life. A number of Grey's cast members have managed to earn Emmy voters' attentions, withChandra Wilson (Miranda Bailey) and former costar Sandra Oh (Cristina Yang) previously landing nominations for their contributions to ABC's long-running medical drama.
Lauren Graham
Lauren Graham has starred on two beloved network dramas, Gilmore Girls (which started on the WB before moving to the CW) and Parenthood (NBC), both of which have showcased her knack for nailing laughs and sentiment in a single scene.
Kaley Cuoco
Kaley Cuoco is best known for playing Penny on CBS's The Big Bang Theory, but also costarred for three seasons on ABC's 8 Simple Rules. Big Bang is certainly an awards darling, as Cuoco's costars Jim Parsons (Sheldon Cooper), Mayim Bialik (Amy Farrah Fowler) and Christine Baranski (Beverly Hofstadter) are Emmy mainstays for their roles on the sitcom
Courteney Cox
Friends earned plenty of Emmy love during its long run as one of TV's most popular comedies, but somehow the actress who embodied Monica Geller is the only one of the six core cast members to never land a nomination for the NBC series.
Kristen Bell
What planet are Emmy voters living on? Clearly, all earthlings must know Kristen Bell did a commendable job leading three seasons of Veronica Mars (first on UPN, then the CW) before spending five as a cast member on Showtime's House of Lies opposite Don Cheadle.
Ian Somerhalder
Ian Somerhalder turned heads in his lone season on ABC's Lost, but it's as Damon Salvatore on the CW's The Vampire Diaries that he truly earned viewers' undying adoration.
